    Poem Commentary

    To my beloved mother. Like every moment of our lives, here one minute and gone the next.

    Oh! How I miss you so

     When I drive down the street and your songs come on
    When I look at the buddleia and see the swallowtail flutter by
    When I feel the wind pick up my bangs and force me to recognize
    I miss you
    When gram sobs and the dogs look back and forth
    When I hear a bell ring and I feel like a little kid
    When my heart aches at night for my momma by my side
    I miss you
    I want to sleep next to you tonight
    I want to curl up on your bed and smell your scent
    I want you to hold me and rock me through the night
    I miss you
    When the night grows long
    When Tracy sings your songs
    When the moon shines down
    When my heart wears a frown
    But I can't see you anymore
    I can't feel you anymore
    You won't hold me ever again
    I'm motherless
    I'm fatherless
    I feel helpless
    I miss you momma,
    I miss you so.

    Wow, that was very sad, I was a little teary eyed when I read it. I am very sorry to hear that you don't have a mother or father figure in your life. I am very sorry that you lost your mom. If you need anything just to let you know that I am hear for you if you want to talk. Sunshine aka Donna

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
